Lucky me, woke to a view of the sea. It was fun to hire a bike to visit nearby communities of Ballyshannon, Kinlogh, Drum Cliff, and Sligo.

100% Verified Reviews

Real guests. Real stays. Real opinions.

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full and as quickly as possible, provided the guidelines are met. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

Paul

눉Staff reception unfriendly and unhelpful and disinterested. Reemed off information pointing in general direction of facilities,incorrect information and walking away when being asked questions. Shower door faling off, tiling mouldy, smell from bathroom, bathrom door warped and did not close fully. Floor in bedroom was not clean and left residue on feet and in bed if walked on in bare feet.

Nico

눉The beds were noisy and too soft. When we arrived in the living room to watch a movie as it is provided for guests, we had to wait for the staff to leave as they were all occupying the L-shaped couch plus the other couch. It was slightly irritating. To our understanding this area is for guests. When they left 1 member of staff stayed, Yolanda. I sat down and it did not seem to bother her that she had she was sitting with her legs laid on the couch in such a way that her feet were right next to me. I guess we do not all have the same sense of manners.
The room looked nothing like the room in the picture.

눇Staff was really nice. In particular Laura. The living room is a great spot to kick back and relax after a surf session. The place has a pizza oven. Lidl pizza came out as it would from a pizzeria :)
